The You Carry Me Project: music for anyone who's lost a loved one.

The project was born from three original songs written by Caitlin Cusack to process the grief of losing her parents, Dan and Mary Cusack. The music was performed and recorded alongside professional symphony musicians. To honor her late parents, Cusack filmed three music videos that featured her hometown, as well as the Ionia Vocal Music Program, Ionia Football, Saints Peter & Paul School, and helped raise funds for the nonprofit, Ionia Community Awareness.

On my 26th birthday, I got a concussion that turned my life upside down and put me on a challenging recovery journey. Around eight months in, through fog, pain, and fragmented thoughts, I wrote the first song on the EP, the title track: Quiet My Mind. It was about feeling stuck as the world went on without me and how I would’ve done anything to get my life back. The following songs on the EP reflect upon my journey through concussion recovery and grief after unexpectedly losing my Mom to a rapidly developing cancer on my 27th birthday. I'm really proud of how these songs have developed in production styles ranging from shimmery cinematic pop to folky americana... the journey to their creation reflects how far I've come in my recovery while learning to balance the light and dark & joy and pain in this life. I really hope these songs brings light to those who are experiencing their own darkness. Thanks for listening!!! -Caitlin Cusack
